Chapter 799: Center Cooperation
Little Joe and the GI haven't seen each other for a long time.
The GI was not used to staying on the Xiangjiang side, and after taking Zhang Minmin to the mainland before, the GI proposed to Luo Yang to come back.
Luo Yang agreed to his request after thinking about it, and it happened that he was preparing to set up an office in Yanjing at that time, and he also needed someone he could trust, so he sent the soldiers back to Yanjing.
Back in Yanjing, the soldiers swept away the discomfort in Xiangjiang and mixed like a fish in water in Yanjing.
Since the business of the Yanjing office has not yet been officially launched, Luoyang set up this office mainly to maintain some necessary relationships and channels, and it may not be good for the soldiers to do other things, but there is no problem in doing this, plus the soldiers have a sense of Jianghu in the body, and they are Yanjing's landowners, and they have deliberately met a lot of people in the past two years, and they are quite famous in the circle.
Luo Yang's relationship with the upper echelons of the Ministry of Culture is good, but many things really need to be done by relying on the upper echelons alone, because the people below are often doing the actual work. The soldier is in charge of these channels, in addition to some actors, there are also some staff and cadres of TV stations and centers among the people he knows, anyway, Luo Yang's company is not short of money, and the funds for the soldier are very abundant, and he deliberately made friends under Luo Yang's instructions, and the soldier's reputation in the circle came out little by little.
Tonight, the GI was the host, and a deputy director of the center was invited.
There are several deputy directors of the center, but this deputy director is responsible for the actual work, and although the center has made a lot of films in recent years and has gained some fame, there are still many problems in the whole center, the most critical of which is the problem of funding.
】
The center has not been established for a long time, and its appearance is also an opportunity. After a few years of development, the center has grown little by little from the original grass platform team, but after all, the time is too short, coupled with many current policies, the center's funding problem has been very tight.
Take the two productions "Journey to the West" and "Dream of Red Mansions" that were just piloted some time ago, these two productions took several years from the beginning of preparation to filming, of which "Journey to the West" began filming as early as 1982, and in August 1982, the filming of "Demon Removal and Black Chicken Country" was completed, and the trial broadcast of this episode on the National Day of the same year was a great success.
In 1986, the first 25 episodes were completed, and after the broadcast, it became a sensation across the country, but then the subsequent filming and production were stalled due to financial reasons, and it was not until 1998 that the filming of the last 16 episodes was restarted, and all the filming was completed in 2000.
Compared with "Dream of Red Mansions", "Journey to the West" is better, after a year of preparation, filming began in September 1984 and was completed at the end of 1986. After the successful trial broadcast, this TV series has officially premiered in China and Xiangjiang, attracting a lot of people to watch.
From this point, it can be seen that although the center has the prefix "China", the pressure on funds is very great, and the center has not only produced these two TV series in recent years, in addition to "Journey to the West" and "Dream of Red Mansions", it has also filmed and produced other TV series, such as "Wasted Years", "Harbin at Night", "Into the Storm" and so on.
Heavy tasks and low funding are the main problems of the center at present, and the leadership of the center has been thinking about how to solve this problem.
It is precisely for this reason that Luo Yang plans to cooperate with the center in the TV series, and after testing through the above contact in the early stage, and after getting the reply that the center can talk about, Luo Yang decisively sent Xiao Qiao over, and at the same time asked the soldiers to cooperate with Xiao Qiao's work in Yanjing.
Today's dinner is to meet in private, and the two sides will get in touch with each other to prepare for tomorrow's official meeting.
Under the introduction and promotion of the soldier, the meal was not bad, and the other party told Xiao Qiao that the center does have the idea of cooperation at present, but the specific how to cooperate, how to distribute benefits, etc., still need to be discussed, after all, the level of the center is higher, and other leaders of the center also have a little concern about cooperating with Xiangjiang Company, and the specific extent to which it can be talked about depends on how much sincerity they can show.
After the meal, seeing off the deputy director, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but think about tomorrow's official meeting, the soldier originally planned to arrange for Xiao Qiao to go to drink again in private, but Xiao Qiao refused.
Back in the room, Xiao Qiao once again sorted out the information after meeting tomorrow, carefully pondered the conditions and requirements for the next negotiation, and only washed and lay down after midnight, and before seven o'clock the next morning, Xiao Qiao got up, cleaned himself up, and then called a few people to brought, and the group got in the car and went to the center.
A week later, at the GI's house, Xiao Qiao, who was tired, smoked a cigarette and sat and chatted with the GI.
"The center is done talking?"
"Well, it's not easy, it's finally over." Xiao Qiao pinched his eyebrows, this week's time was exhausting for him, not only did he have to communicate with the center, but he also had to discuss with Luo Yang on the phone every day, back and forth, and finally reached a preliminary cooperation intention.
At present, Luo Yang is ready to invest in the continuation of the later episodes of "Journey to the West", and has also negotiated with the center for the production of another TV series, which is called "The Last Emperor".
Don't underestimate these two TV series, the actual investment is not a decimal, and it is completely astronomical for ordinary people. Moreover, the conditions offered by the center are very harsh, and if it is an ordinary person, it is impossible to invest if you don't get enough benefits after paying for it. But Luo Yang thought about it and felt that this was an opportunity, although this investment could not actually make any money, and maybe he would lose money, but it was enough for Luo Yang to be able to take advantage of this to get in touch with the center.
"I'm surprised, why does Brother Yang have to cooperate with the center at such a big cost?" The soldier was a little puzzled: "Aren't we on good terms with Huhai Studio?" Just cooperate with them directly, even if you want to intervene in TV dramas, doesn't Huhai also have a TV station? Isn't it more reliable to rely on the relationship between Huhai Studios? ”
Although the soldier did not directly participate in the subsequent negotiations, he knew how much Luo Yang had paid to cooperate with the center. In the eyes of the soldiers, there is no need for this at all, the central cow is a cow, but it is not irreplaceable, why pay such a big price? It's not easy to make money, and it's not a strong wind, especially if you spend money and have to be small, why bother?
"Brother Yang has Brother Yang's considerations, so you don't have to think about this. Besides, you still can't believe Brother Yang? He had a reason for doing so. Xiao Qiao said this with a smile, and the soldier thought about it and smiled dumbly, and nodded: "This is also true." ”
"By the way, Brother Yang told me yesterday that you will join the group as a producer when the funds are in place."
"Me?" The GI reached out in surprise and pointed at himself.
"What? Not happy? ”
"Hehe, how can you not be happy, I just didn't expect Brother Yang to arrange it like this." The soldier grinned, he couldn't be happier to be a producer, he has been dealing with the film and television industry for the past two years, and many crews often run, sometimes going to Renyi to play.
Looking at some directors and actors, the soldier always wants to try it himself, but it is impossible to be a director, and it is not impossible to be an actor, but the soldier doesn't look at what he is talking about on weekdays, but as soon as he is on the camera, he will not be able to do it, and after trying twice, he will stop thinking about it, but he has been thinking about it in his heart.
This time, Luo Yang gave him the opportunity to be a producer, but the soldier was very happy. This kid was gearing up, looking very happy, looking at Xiao Qiao and shaking his head again and again.
"By the way, I almost forgot something." After being happy for a while, the soldier suddenly patted his head and said to Xiao Qiao: "I remember that Brother Yang asked you to contact Yanjing Film Studio, right?" Are you planning to work with them as well? ”
"It's going to be this, what's wrong? Don't you know that? Xiao Qiao asked suspiciously.
The GI smiled and said, "I know, I just want to ask when you're going over there?" ”
"Wait a few days, Brother Yang and his sister-in-law went to Huhai, I am going to go to Huhai to meet Brother Yang first, although the matter of the center has been discussed, but there is other work to be done later, I have to deal with this first." As he spoke, Xiao Qiao seemed to remember something, and looked at the soldier and asked, "I said that you suddenly mentioned this matter, do you have anything to say?" ”
"Hehe, your kid is almost as fine as Brother Yang now, but it wasn't like this before." The GI rejoiced.
"you, a dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth, can you describe it like that?" Xiao Qiao scolded with a smile.
They are all their own brothers, and the soldiers don't go around in circles, so they immediately said: "I have a friend who plays well, he is from the film studio, and he has made two movies in the factory in the past few years, and the results are not bad." A few days ago, I drank and ate shabu mutton with him, and listened to him nag a few words, saying that it was too difficult to do it by himself, although there was a relationship in the factory, but there was no capital and no good channel, it was not easy to toss with his old man by himself, ....... ”
Hearing him say this, I thought in my heart, this guy is a capable person, and his character is absolutely fine. Didn't Brother Yang just want to see what projects were in their factory this time? Anyway, the fertilizer water doesn't flow into the fields of outsiders, so if you can, talk to my buddy directly? If we can cooperate, it will be good for both parties, right? ”
"This is the ...... I can't be the master. Xiao Qiao thought for a while and said, "Brother Yang has the final say, I'm just an errand runner who can't make decisions." ”
"Didn't let you decide." The soldier waved his hand and said, "I still don't understand?" I mean let you meet with this buddy of mine first, and then listen to his thoughts and see if there's any possibility of working together. If you think it's okay, wouldn't it be okay to introduce him to Brother Yang again? It's all buddies, just take a line and build a bridge, it's better than no chance, right? ”
"That's fine......." Xiao Qiao nodded and agreed, and then asked who this buddy was? How did he not know that the GI knew such a buddy and was so willing to help.
The soldier smiled and said that this buddy is actually not an outsider, he said that the name Xiao Qiao must know, and immediately told Xiao Qiao the name of this buddy, as soon as he heard this name, Xiao Qiao was immediately happy, and after making trouble for a long time, it was actually Chen Xiaoer, this kid, and immediately agreed.
